  1. Yummy!!!!....It is like a soft bread, like a pudding bread almost. I used a little less cocoa powder, ommited the chocolate chips...and also to give it a more pistachio flavor I used an instant pistachio pudding mix (but Royal). I don't really like the mix in itself so I decided to use it in a bread, I could taste the mix so maybe I should use a better pistachio mix next time. But quite delicious and not too sweet.<br/><br/>I also used brown sugar instead.<br/>I think next time i'll put even less cocoa powder because I wanted to bread to turn out green and have more of the pistachio flavor. Thanks for the recipe!
     
  2. Absolutely enjoyed the combo of titled flavors here (Pistachios are one of my favorite nutes!), & the double-hit of chocolate was wonderful! The 1st few slices were served with a scoop of frozen vanilla yogurt & a drizzle of homemade chocolate syrup! Definitely a keeper recipe!

  3. Super easy to make and lots of chocolate flavor. The mix of pistachio and chocolate works well (who would have guessed?). I baked this for 50 minutes and did not use the decorating sugar.

Can't believe I've been a member here for 18 years! It's changed a lot since the old RecipeZaar days and maybe or maybe not for the better. It used to be a community and now it's just a tool. Sad, but life goes on. I have been in Kentucky for 12 years now and enjoy the country lifestyle, along with master gardening. Recipes I've found here since Day One are still in my rotation. Don't entertain that much anymore, so finding new and exciting foods is no longer center stage. Just glad to have so many good recipes to fall back on because eating out is expensive and sometimes too far to drive.
